You can put 30 inch off road tires on a 4 door sedan, but that doesn't mean you should...

Why tire air pressure is important:- Underinflation increases treadwear on the outer edges, and generates excessive heat, which can age tires faster
- Too much air pressure causes the center tread to carry most of the car's weight, leading to faster deterioration and uneven wear
To find the proper air pressure for your tires, look in your vehicle's owner's manual, on the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb, or in the glove box.

Note the part in bold. Just because your car tires say 45-50 psi, does not mean that you should inflate them to that. My Prius says 50 psi, but my door says 35.
